clear purpose. However, the process doesn’t have to be complicated. Custom elements equate the entire affair — from stationery to décor to favors, leaving guests with a continued
experience. So we looked to local event planning professionals and peppered this piece with tips on constructing a flawless
fête. Remember: take one bullet point at a time!

• Ask yourself “what’s my goal?” says Theresa Sciullo Kaufman, owner of Theresa Kaufman events & public Relations and president elect of ISeS pittsburgh. determine your event’s purpose and a focal point to set the tone.
• “Gatsby is all the rage!” says Kaufman. look at The Great Gatsby film and note the Tiffany & Co. touches, use of pearls, orchids, and art deco.
• Stay in style by serving craft cocktails that have made a comeback, she says. Think Gin Rickey, Rob Roy, Sidecar, old Fashioned. The antique aperitif makes for a more interesting conversation piece, as it’s not-your-standard gin and tonic. we say spice
it up with a twist of citrus rind!
• Kaufman reminds her clients they can borrow inspiration from just about anything — superheroes, zombies, downton Abbey — but the key is making it reflect your personal character or the character of the organization.
• “The worst thing you can do is try and force a fit just because something is popular,” she says.
• make clean, simplified choices, and mix in avant-garde elements for a modern approach.

• Sammar Accessories, a local silent and live auction company that caters to nonprofits’ event auctions with high-quality products, is essentially a “fundraiser on wheels.”
• owner Adina Schiffman advises delegating tasks is key. “Appoint who will lead the charge to solicit for donations from local businesses to support a silent, live and/or Chinese auction,” she says. “Whether you’re planning your annual gala, a wine tasting, or golf outing, the approach to fundraising has changed. merchants who were once
generous in their donations may longer contribute what they used to. Consequently, patron appeal for products is limited and so are the bids to obtain them.”
• “It’s all about presentation, presentation, presentation!” says Schiffman. “Sammar is always perfecting its art.” From lighting to display props to bid sheets, Sammar presents its array of showcased items with a statement.

• Kristin Nolte, regional account executive of All occasions party Rental, advises clients to focus on making an impact in one, central part of the room. “Maybe make a square or circular bar,” she says. “Build a lounge around the dance floor, or, for a wedding, play up the bridal table with more accents than the rest of the room.”
• nolte adds to Kaufman’s suggestion of going art deco. “It’s all about crystal chandeliers!” she says. “They can be rented and installed in reception rooms.”
• She proposes mixing platinum, Champagne, and gold shades with black and white. “Use gold orizzonte or mirror chargers, and crystal Napoleon chairs,” she says.
• “Farm-to-Table and family-style catering is on trend,” says Nolte. “Use tabletop serving bowls and platers with smaller centerpieces. mix and match plates and farm chairs.” This we’re swooning over!

president and project Strategy Consultant Susie Franklin of Susie Franklin Consulting, Inc., says whether you’re planning a large or small party, or gala, think about “creature comforts.” “Flowers, striking linens, and luscious food can monopolize the focus,” she says. “My goal is a happy and comfortable guest!
plenty of seating, appropriate room temperature, simple hors d’oeuvres that don’t crumble on the first bite.” A must: “Never, ever have a line at the bar,” says Franklin. “Always make it easy to get that first cocktail.”
